Mark Mallman - Slow the Guillotine lyrics

With the innocence of Laura Palmer She said I made her feel like Dorothy Parker People said she slept around I guess that's what I thought I needed after you Was it making love or just making trouble? Was it music in my blood or just another bottle? A streak of one nighters a night of one liners It's the work of getting over you that I employ Tonight I love everything that I do not destroy And I n the morning I asked "where are you going?" And she said "somewhere between freedom and homeless" "why you wanna slow the guillotine?" "because I like to take it slow, if you know what I mean" Trouble's in the place and it's got my face Morrissey is singing "Meet You at the Cemetery Gates" Love is long gone but like that song Don't pretend you were a good girl on the wrong end of a boy Who loves everything that he does not destroy There's a certainty to what's behind us And the people that we let slip by Whichever of us lives the longest Gets to watch all of there best friends die
